I see, I mistook the 'gprs mode' for the internal TS flag whether GPRS is
currently active on a TCH_F_PDCH, but you mean the VTY config item.

Indeed, we would switch to PDCH anyway.  Aside from it being meaningless
to have GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH time slots with 'gprs mode none', I agree
that we shouldn't send PDCH ACT in that case.

It's easy to work around: just configure TS as GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F. So I'm not
putting this high up on the todo list.
